Welcome to our Chapter

Whether you fly, build, restore or simply enjoy airplanes and aviation, you are welcome to attend our events and join our chapter. We are a group of central aviation enthusiasts, aircraft builders, and pilots who get together with like minded people to share ideas, exchange information, encourage safety, serve the local aviation community and have a lot of fun doing so. Please come to our next meeting or event as our guest.

For more information on our chapter, please contact our president via the contact information provided in the sidebar.

EAA 9, Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

IMC Club

EAA has acquired the IMC Clubs. This is good news for all pilots. EAA 9 has supported the IMC Club here in Columbus since we were first approached by Tim Heron. Tim is our local IMC Coordinator. He will continue in this capacity. Please check our website for more details on this and check the calendar for meeting dates and the topic for the month. There are some interesting topics coming up so, be sure to watch the website for them. This is a great opportunity to learn something to help make you a better pilot.

Young Eagles

For youth if you have ever wondered what your neighborhood looks like from the sky? Or maybe your're curious how airplanes even work. You might even dream about being a pilot. If you're shaking your head 'yes' and you are between the ages of 8 and 17, check out EAA 9's Young Eagles rally's throughout the year at various airports in Central Ohio.

While participating in Young Eagles youth can receive a student membership which is full of exciting opportunities just for them - EAA Sport Aviation Magazine online, E-newsletters, Free admission to 300+ Science and Technology Museums and more.

Youth will also receive a free online course from Sportys which is designed to take you all the way through the process of passing the FAA written exam to taking your first flight.
